Installing BackupBuddy

BackupBuddy can be uploaded, activated and used just like any other plugin. While BackupBuddy can back up both Standalone sites and Multisite installations, it is normally activated differently (strong recommended!) on a Multisite network.

Remember:

STANDALONE SITES are individual WordPress installations that are not part of a Multisite Network.

MULTISITE NETWORKS refers to the entire Multisite Network installation. Within a Network there are both individual site admin panels as well as a Network Admin panel which controls the overall network and allows you manage global settings.

MULTISITE SITES (or subsites) refer to INDIVIDUAL SITES inside a MULTISITE. This includes the main base site of a network.

The term MULTISITE is used loosely by WordPress to refer to EITHER Multisite Networks OR Multisite Sites OR both. We will try to be as specific as possible for any explanations.
